Migros Café Royal Campaign Focuses on Coffee Moments
Swiss retailer Migros is repositioning its private-label coffee brand Café Royal with a new campaign developed by Zurich agency Morning. The creative centers on the emotional experience of drinking good coffee, emphasizing the small breaks it provides from daily routines. The campaign's core consists of two film spots with original soundtracks, adapted for TV and online in various versions. The music, including a reinterpretation of Camille Yarbrough's song "Take yo' praise" with Great Garbo and Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," is designed to convey the transition from everyday moments to indulgence. In addition to films, the campaign uses posters, digital out-of-home (DOOH), and static and animated online formats.

Dallmayr launches new umbrella campaign for Italian coffee moments at home
Dallmayr, the German premium coffee brand, has launched a new umbrella brand campaign titled 'Jedes Mal besonders' (Every time special). The campaign aims to position Dallmayr as the brand for special coffee moments at home, evoking Italian café culture. The centerpiece is a 20-second TV commercial created by agencies Fantomas and Saint Elmo's, with production by E+P Commercials, directed by Duncan Winecoff. The spot features a couple dressing up for a fancy restaurant but ultimately enjoying coffee at home, reminiscent of a recent Frosta campaign. The campaign includes five TV and digital spots for Dallmayr's product ranges: Prodomo, Crema d’Oro, Home Barista, and Röstkunst, each telling a distinct coffee moment. The commercials will run online from now until end of November, and on linear TV from October 26 to November 15.

Volg operates about 600 stores in Switzerland. Credits on the campaign include Tamara Scheibli (Volg communications head), agency creatives at Mona und Mateo, photographer Bobby Doherty, photoproduction by Tasty Pictures, and media handled by the Generation Media.
